摘要
气温升高和高温事件可能会增加患高温相关疾病的风险，从而影响工人，尤其是女性。我们对903名户外和室内部门的女性进行了一项横断面研究。我们使用HOTHAPS问卷测量了湿球温度（WBGT）和生理热应变指标（HSI），以及自我报告的HRIs症状。多变量Logistic回归模型用于比较热风险。WBGT暴露量在两个室外都很高（平均WBGT=28.8 °C ± 2.4 °C）和室内（平均WBGT=28.7 °C ± 3.5 °C）扇区。户外女工（OWW）报告了更高的HRI症状（94%对81%），热暴露与HRI呈正相关（AOR:3.7；95%CI:2.4-6.1）。与室内女工（IWW）相比，户外女工测量的HSI高于安全限的风险高1.5倍（95%CI:1.1-2.1），泌尿生殖道问题的风险高2.1倍（95%CI:2.1-3.8）。由于阳光直射、劳动密集和缺乏福利设施，OWW有更高的HRI风险。
Comparison of women's heat risk profiles among those working in indoor and outdoor sectors.
Rising temperatures and heat events may affect workers, especially women, by increasing the risk of Heat Related Illnesses (HRIs). We conducted a cross-sectional study among 903 women in outdoor and indoor sectors. We measured Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) and physiological Heat Strain Indicators (HSI), as well as self-reported symptoms of HRIs using a HOTHAPS questionnaire. Multivariate Logistic Regression models were used to compare the heat risks. WBGT exposures were high in both the outdoor (Avg. WBGT = 28.8 °C ± 2.4 °C) and indoor (Avg. WBGT = 28.7 °C ± 3.5 °C) sectors. Outdoor Women Workers (OWW) reported higher HRI symptoms (94%vs.81%), and heat exposures were positively correlated with HRIs (AOR: 3.7; 95%CI: 2.4-6.1). OWW showed a 1.5-fold higher risk of measured HSI above safe limits (95%CI: 1.1-2.1) and a 2.1-fold higher risk of urogenital issues (95%CI: 2.1-3.8) than Indoor Women Workers (IWW). Due to direct sun exposure, intensive labor, and a lack of welfare facilities, OWW has a higher HRI risk.
